Page 123

Saturday February 11 1911  I did not feel very well. Got the dinner early for Will to go to town. I then washed out a dress and cleaned up the kitchen and and washed some windows.  I tired the machined in the afternoon.  I do not like it.  Sewed some by hand.  Read in evening to bed early.  Sunday February 12 1911  I was busy with the work all morning.  Mr & Mrs Weld spent the afternoon here I read all the evening.  Monday February 13 1911 I went to town at 9.15  I was in Dr Smiths office to get some medicine for Will.  I picked out some paper for the tenant house.  We both worked down there all afternoon taking paper from the walls.  The weather is dark and wild.  I read all the evening.  Tuesday February 14 1911  I had some cooking to do and was busy with the work all forenoon.  Will to town to a [illegible] meeing in afternoon.  They let the [road? seed?] work.  I was down to Marys  She is not well.  I did fancy work and read in the evening.  Weather mild.
